Photographing movement - Panning with different shutter speed


This exercise beautifully shows what everything can be achieved by a proper use of different shutter speeds. By using panning technique I could freeze dynamic moment with preserving both sharpness and dynamic at the same moment.

I used different shutter speeds to show all varieties of looks that can be achieved.

I wanted to preserve the same aperture over all images so the only changing values were shutter speed and iso to compensate proper exposure.  In longer shutter speeds I had to use polarised filter (which added +1.3 stops) to achieve slower shutter speed. 

I started on 1/1000th of second and finished on 1/15th of second. The difference between them was significant. As the shutter speed slowed down the background started to get more and more blurry with a beautiful MOTION blur effect caused by camera movement. But the object itself was sharp.

I love this creative technique because it enhances background movement while the sharpness of object is preserved. It helps the object to pop out of picture to make it look more significant.
